It's Sunday Tuesday! Time for a comic! \rSorry for the delay folks, this one took me a while to draw. \rPlus I had my first raid on Saturday night, so I was reading up fights for hours. ;o \/excuses\r\rThis week's script was written by, and stars, Snowfi. The little pink-haired mageykins. \r\rWithout further ado, I give you Naxxramas, during Tuesday Maintenance.\r\r\r\rThose poor bosses finally get a few hours to themselves without random heroes turning up and trying to stick various spiky objects into their heads.

So our friends over at the ZAM.com news site have posted a very interesting interview\u2014this time with a lady named Connie Mableson.\r\rConnie is the lawyer who represented MDY (known to most of you as the company that created the infamous "Glider" program) in the legal action that took place between Blizzard and MDY. She also represented the very first business to try and make money off of the Internet, was the first lawyer to open a law office in a virtual world\u2014in this case, Second Life. She's also an avid WoW player, and she has some very interesting theories about the motivating factors behind Blizzard's recent UI policy change. \r\rHaving read the article, I don't agree with the conclusions she's come to. But either way, it's interesting to see her opinion on a highly controversial topic.\r\rHead on over to ZAM.com to check it out!

Sincerely, Malgayne.Long time no see, dear readers! Please forgive my absence at the writing desk, for I have been separated from my mailbox! Let us all dearly hope that no such inconvenience strikes us again.\r\rToday we have a letter from a confused young man in Stormwind City. Shall we?\r\rDear Wowhead,\r\rI am yet another addict, seeking your help - for the sake of both me and my beautiful wife, Elaine. I am a huge fan of your "Dear Wowhead" section, and have recently gathered my courage to write to you, seeing that you have already helped people like me - Black Rosee and Feling, being two examples.\r\rIt is more than embarrassing to say, but I am addicted to...cheese.\r\rYes, cheese, is that a problem?!\r\r...I am sorry for my temper, but it took me almost quarter of an hour to compose this part of the letter, and that has been a painful cheese-less quarter of an hour. As I was, saying, I am addicted to cheese. Дарнасский блю, Даларанский острый сыр, Острый луковый сыр, Дворфийский мягкий сыр, Штормградский бри, Кусок старого чеддера, Альтеракский сыр, and even the exotic alien Гарадарская закуска, which I hear is made

We just did a google search for "jammed UI". If this is your UI, we apologize. :PYou ever found desktop so full of icons that you almost need to use a search engine to find the folder you need? Or your desk\/working place literally hidden by mountains of papers, hole-punchers, sticky notes, staplers, folders, binders, pens and other office tools? Well, things like that can happen in WoW too, and I am an unfortunate victim of Addon addiction.\r

March Mayhem!So in light of all the discussion there's been about loyalty to Blizzard lately, I thought I'd make you guys aware of an opportunity to prove that loyalty. :)\r\rThe Escapist is holding a March Madness, NCAA-style tournament showdown of game developers! The showdown had already begun before I got wind of it, but the current matchup is between Blizzard and Relic Entertainment, makers of the Dawn of War series. As of the time of this writing, Relic was ahead by 8 votes!\r\rSo go poke around, show your support! The tournament index page is here, and the specific showdown page is here. :)

I have a disease. My disease is terminal.I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM\r\rMy disease is alts.\r\rMy first character was a rogue that I rolled shortly after Warcraft came out. He was, is and always will be my favorite. But then I rolled a warrior. Shortly after I rolled a druid. Then a mage showed up, and with the release of The Burning Crusade, came my shaman, who quickly became my "other" favorite, because to say "second" would suggest that I love him less than my rogue, which is untrue. Now here I am; I\u2019ve got 3 80\u2019s, several more in \u201cstriking range\u201d (within 10 levels), and my warlock has begun his ascent from level one. I think there's something wrong with me.\r\rBut I\u2019ve come to the conclusion after reading over a few profiles and seeing some other posts that I\u2019m not the only one doing this, so I\u2019m curious what motives others may have.

Forgive my tardiness\u2014normally I hate to wait this long before I get an update posted, but I've been moving into my new apartment this week, and I've been a little slow on the draw!\r\rSo those of you who are quicker on the uptake than I am, you may have already noticed the new page that we featured. The URL is here:\r\rhttp:\/\/ptr.wowhead.com\/?new-items=3.1\r\rOn this page, you have access to every item that's been added to WoW in patch 3.1! They're sorted by type, linked in a table of contents, and divided up by item level. Feel free to poke around and get started on your Ulduar shopping lists!

Hey lookie, it's Sunday! Have a comic. \r\r\r\rI uh... I think Varian Wrynn needs a brain scan. ): The poor fellow, such short term memory loss.\r\rKay back to playing WoW, Noxiia is almost 80! Ahh! My first 80! *squeal*

So Blizzard appears to be moving in a more unified direction! Yesterday they announced the expansion of their Battle.net service. It looks like they're setting things up so that going forward you can log into WoW, Diablo III, Starcraft II, and all their upcoming betas with a single set of login information.\r\rThis is all well and good, of course, but what I'm really excited about is the ability to keep track of your CD Keys for earlier games, which will let you download and play games like Diablo II and Warcraft III on any computer. Anyone who's been a regular reader of this blog will know that this is an exciting prospect for me personally. Just be careful with your account information!\r\rYou can set up your Battle.net account here: http:\/\/us.battle.net\/account\/creation\/landing.xml\rMore info can be found on the Battle.net FAQ here: http:\/\/us.battle.net\/faq\/index.html\r\rThe full announcement is after the break!

Even Deadlier than this one!This, ladies and gentlemen, is the moment we have all been waiting for! The Tier8 armor sets for all the classes are no longer mystery. We now know how the sets look like, how they are named, but more importantly - what bonuses they give us!\r\rCheck the Turtlenecks Are In This Year for a video and some information about the way the sets look!\r\rBut before we move to the sets, there is a little teaser I would like to toss in here. Remember how at the end of each Arena Season the top teams were rewarded a Nether Drake mount with 310% bonus speed? Well, the reward for the next Arena Season is going to be a Deadly Gladiator's Frostwyrm!\r

Let's see...how did that Shield Slam thing go again?Blizzard has released some new info on all the different upcoming UI changes! Here's the official announcement:\r\rNew User Interface Updates\r \rThere are many new additions and changes coming in the near future for World of Warcraft. Alongside the hotly anticipated raid dungeon Ulduar, several new user interface features will be debuting, and we\u2019ve put together a preview of them to let you know what to expect when the patch arrives.\r\rCheck after the break for a rundown of what you can expect to see.

Sorry folks, didn't have the time to make a full length comic this week. Busy busy busy!\r\rBut, as I had so much fun with the Boomkitty, I decided to go the other route. \r\rMeet Mr. Bearhealz!\r\r\r\rI wish I could draw more of these with other classes, but the druid forms were just so flexible.. \r\rAnyhoo. I stuck them together and made a wallpaper, purely for my own amusement, but I figured I'd add it to this blog post!\r\r\rWidescreen (1920x1200)\rStandard (1600x1200)\r
